Wifi Access Point On GA Plane
We have been discussing with another pilot the possibility of running a wifi access point on a light aeroplane, as a means of accessing and configuring an on-board data server (which is not connected or related to the avionics in any way). One point of concern is whether the wireless signal is likely to cause interference with anything else onboard. So my questions are:
a) Does anyone have any information / thoughts on this subject?
b) How would Bluetooth operation differ (or not) from 802.11 as regards interference?
The aeroplane is equipped with conventional (steam) gauges, IFR-certified, and has an autopilot.
